Raven's one uncle and I got into an argument about this over the summer. I'm very resistant to 'inevitable' things, especially ones with a laundry list of moral problems. I'm not looking forward to resuming the argument during the holidays.

Growing up means learning that these assholes who want to sell you on something 'inevitable' are only trying to profit from your news fatigue and feeling of hopelessness.

Elements of AI will surely stick around, but it's been proven that the current model for the theft machine is unsustainable.

‘AI is here to stay and change things’: Mad Max director George Miller on why he is taking part in an AI film festival

The director believes AI has made film-making ‘way more egalitarian’ – and is set to lead the judges at Omni AI film festival in Australia There’s no arguing the use of artificial intelligence in film-making is getting a bad rap. Last week’s unveiling of Hollywood’s first AI “actress”, Tilly Norwood, generated howls of protest from actors’ unions across the UK and US, where the industry is still reeling from last year’s 118-day strike over, among other issues, the threat of AI. And earlier this week, Australia’s Productivity Commission was pilloried by Liberals and Greens alike for failing to recognise the dire impact AI may have on the country’s creative industries.

please treat sudanese refugees with the same compassion and attention as others- suffering unseen is a special kind of hell that i'm sure fellow rainbow folks all over the world understand intimately

Sadly someone took the cane recently RIP.

Lore @lorecurator.bsky.social · 23h

A dilemma: do I borrow a mobility cane that someone donated to my local queer community centre and has been sitting there for months?

I haven't been able to get a personal one yet and I would like something for my trip but I also don't want to take it and then someone else need it more.

Lore @lorecurator.bsky.social · 22h

Thank you, I appreciate the support! And I will return it once I get a personal one, I just hate helping myself I guess haha

Going live in about 15min! Probably more art today, though I could be persuaded to play something.

Lore @lorecurator.bsky.social · 1d

My aim is to describe essentially the purpose of the image as my first priority and then extra details if I have time/energy. For art I try to write more descriptions because there's not always the same kind of sense of 'purpose' for a drawing in contrast with something like an info graphic.

Just a reminder for folks -- please use alt text! Turn on the reminder for it in your Bsky settings (which are device specific). It's incredibly important for those using screen readers and others who are visually impaired or even just need a bit of clarification!

Accessibility helps everyone.

1 FULL EFFEN MONTH W/O THEIR MEDS - $70 TO GO URGENT!

Their functionality is rapidly diminishing the longer they go w/o their anxiety/depression meds. 7 ppl $10 each - any combo ppl x $$ = $70 - does it.

Pls RS/QS. Pls do what you can. #HelpFolksLive2025

Day 30: STALLED @ $25/$95. A MONTH LATE. My meds ($95) are NEEDED. I haven't had them in too long. My anxiety & depression are the worst it has been in a while. I am struggling but getting nowhere.

Hey y'all!

Reminder that I have Halloween emotes available on my Ko-fi! They are free to download but if you'd like to help support my art and content you can leave a tip on my page ♥️

These aren't animated but some do work well with the Twitch animation tools.

🔗⬇️

A graphic titled "Free Twitch Emotes", with smaller text below the title that reads "28x28, 56x56, 112x112". The graphic contains seven different emote examples. The first one is a waving black cat with green eyes, text that reads "toxic" in alternating orange and purple letters with green goo oozing off of it, and a cute happy looking ghost. The next line of emotes below that is a happy looking jack 'o lantern, a cartoon grim reaper looking confused and saying "huh?", a spiderweb in the shape of a heart, and a black widow crawling over red text that says "hype".

It is Tuesday, which I am now aware. I am also now aware that I forgot to say that I won't be streaming today! We're getting a new water heater put in and have some work around the house to do. I will hopefully be on tomorrow!

"But Lore, why not take a cab?"

Transit costs a fraction. It also is surprisingly less stressful for me.

Besides, rapid transit helps many folks besides me. So maybe every city ought to get on that.

Lore @lorecurator.bsky.social · 3d

Rapid transit takes a lot of time and money to build and will of course make things for drivers inconvenient for the duration but honestly it should not take the better part of my day and most of my spoons to go to one very chill appointment.

Lore @lorecurator.bsky.social · 3d

Idk how but getting across the city, having a 10 min appointment, and getting home takes over 3 hours. I'm...very tired.

Lore @lorecurator.bsky.social · 3d

Oh you know it's both somehow
